Ask for popular historical readings, popular history books

There are many popular books on history, I suggest you read some books with historical authenticity and good writing, Qin and Han dynasties used to read "Eastern Zhou Dynasty Chronicles", this book was written by Feng Menglong, although it is an ancient text, it is easy to understand. At the end of the Han Dynasty, I watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the two Jin and Northern Dynasties watched "Gorgeous Blood Era" written by Mei Yi, which is a bit of an Internet style, which I think is quite good. For the Sui and Tang dynasties, look at "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", which was written by Chu Ren, and it is relatively readable.

The Ming Dynasty period is, of course, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty". I don't have much good advice for the Qin, Han and Qing dynasties. Just take the name of the call book on Thunderbolt.

Those things in the Ming Dynasty.

Hundred pulpits. A New Global History.

Bentley, Ziegler --- break away from the Eurocentrism of the past.

2. General History of the World.

Stavrianos --- more classic.

3. The clash of civilizations and the reconstruction of world order.

Huntington--- this is not a general history, but a work of political analysis that, while controversial, is still worth reading.

4. The story of humanity.

Fang Long --- very popular book, but his status in the historical community is not high, because it is too popular and has no academic value, but the writing is good and smooth.

Bronze Age Wars.

Magazines: "Literature and History".

That depends on the purpose of the history book. If you simply want to hunt for curiosity, or satisfy some leisure and entertainment hobbies, the above suggestions are good, and they are more popular. However, if you want to really study and learn, you have to read real history books.

I don't know what level of knowledge you have of ancient literature, or what your foundation of history is. If these two points are not very good, it is recommended to read some basic books first, such as "Wenxin Carving Dragon", to improve the level of ancient literature, in addition, you can read Hanshu, Shiji, Zizhi Tongjian, after reading these books, it is estimated that the second half of your life is almost over, hehe.

If you want to have your own truly independent thoughts, you should read the original work, the ancient text. If you're just trying to pick up the literature, read some of the books introduced by the people above. If you want to increase your talents, it's better to read the original book.

If you are reading a textbook of ancient Chinese history, it is generally accepted that it is better to edit "Ancient Chinese History" edited by Jian Bozan.
